Dip Switch Setup
To set up the KT6 for your specific application, you might need to change some of the Dip Switches. The switches are located under the chart in the lower half of the dial plate. A pointed object can be used to change the settings. Remember to install the correct chart to match corresponding dip switch setting.

Calibration
Your instrument was carefully tested and calibrated before being shipped from the factory. Additional calibration is not required. However, should calibration be desired in the future, we recommend that it be at our lab. Call Customer Service at (630)
1.To activate the calibration mode, turn the unit OFF. Now press the “ON/OFF” key and the “ALARM” key at the same time. The unit is in the “User Calibration” mode when the red LED is ON. The display will show a “C” during the warm up period and then will flash between 0 and F or 0 and C (depending on measurement selected). Match the reading
of the recorder to the reading of the reference standard.

To ensure that you have matched the standard, allow the pens to stabilize for at least 30 seconds before exiting calibration mode. If your KT6 only has one pen, skip to Step 4.
3.Press the “ALARM” button for 2 seconds to switch from Pen 1 to Pen 2. Repeat step 2 for Pen 2 temperature calibration.
4.When calibration is complete, simply press the “ON/OFF” key to save the calibration settings. Calibration is stored in memory even after you turn the unit OFF. User Calibration information will not be lost if AC Power fails.
